The BMW R75 is a World Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo produced by the German company BMW.

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a question from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc area valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later became the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were built in with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and change gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time of analysis it became clear that the Z?ndapp was the superior machine. In August 1942 Z?ndapp and BMW, on the urging of the Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach factory was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 devices were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
